(maglites have taken some flack on the worst kit thread)
Well sorry but I like em, i have had them for years and have only killed one when the batteries corroded too badly to get them out.
I have had hundreds of torches and these are amongst the very best.
The switches work, the bulbs last years, you don't have to clean the contacts, you can focus them, they are virtually unbreakable. They don't flicker, and you don't have to beat them to get them to work! The larger ones make a great club for self defence.
In short mine have never let me down - 100% reliable, and set the standard for torches.
OK so things have moved on and LEDs are the way forward, hopefully Mag instruments will take this on board shortly. In the mean time I use a Tikka plus and still have a maglite as backup.
Cheers
Rich
